just from republicans but from some leading democrats like foreign affairs committee chairman bob menendeze two issues are they could either impose new sanctions or, as bob corker wants to do, strip the president of his ability to waive even existing sanctions under existing law. the administration says if that happens president obama will have nothing left to deal with in geneva next week. his negotiators won't, because even the modest easing they're proposeing, that they proposed last week say unblocking some funds that are -- this iranian money held in foreign accounts, he can't do if his hands are tied on the waivers. so that's why you saw a full-court press this week. vice president biden, secretary kerry, up on the hill in private briefings. >> ifill: and they were saying that we aren't lifting oil sanctions or banking sanctions. so what is driving the objections to even the potential of a deal? >> i'd say distrust on two fronts. distrust of iran given its long record of deception and there is such a record. and negotiations and distrust of the administration or a mistrust that this

what's interesting with chuck schumer and bob menendez, i think it's possible to see tougher sanctionsnd that puts president obama in a difficult situation and could be the first veto of his administration, can harry reid hold off tougher sanctions in the next six months? that's going to be a very fascinating political story that now we don't have the answer to. and obviously, if it gets to the president's desk, can he afford to veto it? he probably will want to in his second term but that's what to look at. will they get it through and what does it mean for obama and other countries involved? >> that's a great point. good to see you, luke. >> be well. >> now joining us jonathan allen. how are you? >> i'm good. how are you? >> doing well. let's start with that one wing out of the three. the bad cop caucus. there's an argument here that luke was just alluding to that they can play a constructive role and the president can say, i want a deal but i have hard liners in congress there are going to be more sanctions and tougher sanctions if we don't get a real package and that could be usefu
